one of the largest and most historically significant collections of American aircraft including the World War II fighters, dive and torpedo bombers. The aircraft collection begins with the 1903 Wright Flyer (only replica in collection) and continues through the 1980s era represented by the <strong>F-15 Eagle<\/strong>, <strong>F-16 Fighting Falcon<\/strong> and <strong>Blue Angels<\/strong> <strong>F\/A-18 Hornet<\/strong>. The collection exceeds 190 aircraft, with some being the last survivors of their type. Yanks restores all aircraft to airworthy condition, and in the restoration of these rare aircraft only original factory specifications and materials are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chino facility encompasses 176,000-square-foot (16,400&nbsp;m<sup>2<\/sup>) under roof and covers 10 acres (40,000&nbsp;m<sup>2<\/sup>). In addition to the display hangars, public access is permitted, on a supervised basis, to the main restoration hangar and boneyard where historic aircraft are in various stages of restoration. Some of the aircraft will not be flown due to their rarity, but are restored to fully airworthy condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Yanks Air Museum, located at Chino Airport in Chino, California, is dedicated to preserving and showcasing American aviation history.
